Instructions
- 1
Make the slaw: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and 1/4 tsp salt. Toss well until the cabbage is evenly coated, then set aside while you prepare the quesadillas — the slaw will soften slightly and the flavors will come together.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tbsp neutral oil until shimmering. Add the paneer cubes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, until the undersides are deep golden. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden on the second side. Transfer to a plate.
